--Breathless by Jessica Warman
“What’s wrong with Will, according to every doctor who’s ever seen him, is drug-induced schizophrenia. Without all the bullying, he might never have gotten into all the drugs. It took a few years before what was happening to him became clear; typically, schizophrenia doesn’t begin to show itself until later in a person’s adolescence or early twenties. But Will has never been typical, and people in this town were unusually cruel.”

“Dr. Klein jots down notes, and then he stops writing and just sits, ramrod straight, looking small and a little scared in his big boy chair. In the end, he hands my parents a script for antipsychotic medication and schedules some serious sessions. So, now I’ve been to see a drug counselor who told me I needed to lay off the drugs and talk about my feelings, and a shrink who heard what I had to say and immediately put me on drugs.”
--Going Bovine by Libba Bray “It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God, who, if He exists is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.”
--If I Stay by Gayle Foreman “They were soldiers of science, and their weapon was the x-ray. X-rays could see through clothes, skin, even metal. They were miraculous wonder rays that would cure anything.”
--Stitches by David Small "My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes."
